My 3ds xl is currently split in half and I don’t know how to fix it. The lower half turns on then turns back off, can anyone help?

@zera604 if it is physically split in half you will have to tryt and put it back together. If it is the hinge that is broke then you need to replace the center housing. Something like this video will help with that. You can also check these guides for more help.

Make sure that the ribbon cables are properly connected and that everything is seated right.
